The Magic Of Gemstone Healing...

Do gemstones really have the power to affect your mind, body and emotions?

Gemstone healing has been used since ancient Egyptian times, worn as jewellery, buried with loved ones and used to cure ailments and illnesses.

Today, gemstones cannot be used as medicine but don't forget, these beautiful gemstones are still physical creations made of the earth's energy, each with their own 'vibration'. People are now becoming more open-minded about the power of gemstones and connecting with them in their everyday lives.

Whether you decide to wear your favourite gem around your neck or choose to place them on your bedside table - it can be a soothing reminder of its possible qualities and powers.

It is down to you to open your mind and heart to the possibilities of gemstone healing... discover below five gems, their believed meanings, properties and how they could help you balance your mind and body.

Fall In Love With Rose Quartz

Rose quartz has a cloudy, pink colouring which is made through the presence of the tiny amounts of titanium within the stone. This stone is said to have a calming effect. It represents love and peace, with the gemstone aiding inner healing, self-love and self-esteem.

It is also said that rose quartz strengthens the heart, therefore creating a pendant could be a perfect choice and be a reminder to always practice self-love. You could also place rose quartz on your bedside table to allow those loving vibes to enter your room.
